Please suggest which stage to use for converting rows into columns

[siva7143]

For the above scenario Pivot stage can be used to convert the rows into columns.Use the Derivation field in the output link column grid to specify the pivots.

Pivot stage goes from rows to columns (horizontal pivot), not columns to rows (vertical pivot). Search the forum for "vertical pivot" to learn various techniques.

It has been suggested (at IOD 2007) that vertical pivot will be possible in the Pivot stage in version 8.1 (later this year).

You can use the combined record stage or you have to write a logic in the transformer to convert rows into columns.
